The Naples Players Present The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The Naples Players (TNP) continue their 72nd Season with the internationally acclaimed play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Simon Stephens, running February 4 – March 1, in The Price Studio Theater. Directed by Executive Artistic Director Bryce Alexander, this powerful and imaginative adaptation of Mark Haddon’s bestselling novel invites audiences into an unforgettable theatrical journey filled with heart, humor, and discovery.

A highlight of Season 72, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time tells the story of Christopher Boone, a brilliant teenager whose extraordinary mind helps him navigate a mystery that expands into something far more personal. This production features a unique creative approach: two actors, Thomas Currie and Matthew Hasley, share the role of Christopher Boone. One lives the story as it unfolds; the other recalls and narrates it. Together, they form two halves of a single mind in motion. Their performances echo, collide, and complete each other, revealing that truth is never just one voice. It is a journey from certainty to understanding — showing that comprehension, not fact, is what ultimately connects us.

“This production is a beautiful reminder of why theatre matters. It helps us see from new perspectives and reminds us that every person’s inner world is worthy of understanding,” said Director Bryce Alexander. “By sharing Christopher’s mind between two performers, we’re inviting audiences to experience both the brilliance and the vulnerability of his story in a way that is deeply human and deeply theatrical.”

Pamela Austin, Oscar Clark, Thomas Currie, Edison Filner, Lisa Gunn, Jen Hart, Matthew Hasley, Ruth Johnson, Ruth Kennedy, Joch Luzarraga, Linda Mizeur, Tom Rex, Kelly Rossberg, Roseann Ruggiero, and Susan Vobejda.
